A Mouse Nest in Window Curtain.

A family party was sitting at dinner
when one OF the children noticed that
mouse was slowly and carefully to:ling
ID the damask window curtain with
something in its mouth. The little crea.
:ure was not disturbed, says a writer in
Chatterbor, but was carefully watched
till she disappeared in fold of the cur
lain. After awhile she emerged and ran
down to the floor, and so disappeared.
On examining the curtain, four very lit
lie mice were found in one of the folds,
which formed kind of pouch, and
would have been comfortable enough
without any lining; but Mrs. Mouse had
not thought so, for she had placed in the
fold some soft wool stolen out Of rent
in sofa cushion. The following day
nil the little mice had disappeared; the
mother mouse evidently knew that her
nest had been discovered, AMI was no
lonucr a safe dwelling place for her
family.

An Effective Argument.

A very effective temperance argument was
that used by William Duncan i'll colony Of
Christianized Indians in British Columbia.
A keg of whisky was obtained and scattered
people. 1t destroyed all the herbagc. The
Indian President OF the village council then
told the young folks that just As it burned
the grass it would burn them if they drank il.
This festival now takes place every year. II
was inausurated wholly by the Indians, and
there has been very little trouble with the
liquor question since. Whenever any liquor
is smuggled into the settlement it is seized
and used to burn the grass in the illustrated

coats. 1t will stick, no matter what
betides. Then IT follows that being
earthy in this wby, and undertaking
to fill heavenly offices, we must stick
to them and let the world alone, Sc
verely alone Earth and heaven will
not mix. Their constituents rs well
as their offices are incongruous Men
busy with the affairs OF this life, of this
world, have no business ministering
at Gods affairs. If they do there will
be q mess of it and somebody will get
mad. to be sure. SO far. this prOhibi.
ton campaign has been the hottest
aud fercest ever wagcd, and whether
it Is because there is a large
moral or christian element in ii or
not, we leave others to determine.
II Is noticeable. however, that when-
ever the christian ministry abandous
the advocacy OF The cause of the Low
ing ltedeemer and descend to sectari-
on pOlemles there Is always bitterness,
Great bitterness and all utter absence
of the qualities Of forbearaucc and
christian charity which they prcach
80 loudly from the pulpit- in the les
climate discharge OF the duties per-
tanning TO their HOLY Offices. Now in
this struggle for political prohibition
the ministers are present in large
numbers, present as leaders, speakers,
disputants and managers. Dare we
say that therefore this is the Citterest
political campaign ever wagod in the
state? We not only dare do it. but
are mpelled by our love of truth to
declare that is Our explanation OF
this is that The minister necessarily
becomes dogmatic and positive from
the very nature of his employment.
| lie stands III the pulpit and thunders
his religion, views his is an cX-parte
relation to the questions and there
are none to dispute his positive state
ments or arguments. Thus he be-
comes dogmatic necessarily. When
he attempts to carry this way of do
ing things aud these tactics into poll
tics where men may meet him ON
an exact level lie gets into hot
water. and il is very hot
very often unfortunately, be- IS apt
to lose bis head, and trouble results,
bitterness follows. It spreads from
minister to flock and with the least
possible delay we have neighbour
hoods and whole districts together by
the ears most beautifully.
Now our suggestion il this: With
the politics, which il seems they deem
it necessary TO preach, let them mix
the Christian graces of charity and
her children, reason aud forbearauce.
Let the minister, in this struggle set
the example of liberation and that
respect for the opinions and feelings
of Others that they claim for their
own. Let them turn the other cheek
Oh the Nazarine plan. Don't let them
make haste to resent either real or
fancied insults or slights-bearing all
things patiently for the sake OF tho
Master. as well rs the cause they serve.
II this is done, we will soon have a
better feeling prevailing, and peace
will soon again reign in the land,
This article is not to be considered
in any sense as personal. 1t is sug
gested by recent deplorable occur
renee, aud only in the hope that bet
ter counscls will prevail and peace be
restored.
